Why does it have to have a servlet at all?
You need a default servlet to serve static content. Jetty and tomcat
install one by default in each web app (unless you override it) but
these automatic default servlets serve content from inside the war.
If you pack stuff up in a war, you shouldn't need any servlet :-). If
you want the content served from somewhere else, you need to configure
a default servlet to tell it where the "somewhere else" is.
hope this is clearer :-)

Hi
My problem is simple. How to deploy plain html-files or a
directory to a
user without packing these things is a war file(like apache web
server
does). So that the user may browse the directory stucture with the
browser.
WAR-file is not viable option since i cannot pack all the files in
a war
file.
Why not?
Assuming you have a good answer to that question :-) you can set
up a web
app that has only the default servlet for the web container you are
using
(jetty or tomcat) and configure it to serve static content from
wherever it
actually is. Unfortunately I don't have an example of how to do
this handy,
but I suspect either jetty or tomcat documentation might explain
how to do
this. It would be a good thing to get into our docs as well
(assuming it
isn't already there and I just don't know about it).
thanks
